Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com
setzman writes "According to this article from CNN, conservative minister Jerry Falwell has succeeded in shutting down a web site run by a gay activist on the domain fallwell.com. The judge said it was 'nearly identical' to the registered trademark 'Jerry Falwell' name and was likely to be confusing to Web surfers." (This was a Federal case, held in the 4th Circuit Court.)
No one can think of anything to say.. This is really exciting though, really.
Please mod me up if you are tired of hearing about these domain name fight cases it happens all the time unfortunately post somehting truely interesting next time.
I think the invisible hand of the market has its middle finger extended

Is there a "remove my incoherent post" option on here?
Love, Stu
because california -outside of LA- is mostly a conservative state?
Informative?!? INFORMATIVE!?! FFS I was being **FUNNY**.
Hmm maybe the mod' accidentally selected the wrong category on the drop down. Ok I'll take whatever I can get.
Bad analogies are like waxing a monkey with a rainbow.
Jerry Falwell could have just posted the link here on Slashdot and taken the site down a whole lot quicker.
that when you troll, you're supposed to do it as AC.
Or are you posting from a hacked account?
Just what are you trying to imply about stormtroopers?
Awww, c'mon! That was fucking hilarious!!!
As I said before, so what?
This is not my sig.
Wouldn't that be SlashDoh?

Oh yeah, I'd consider Nader worse than Falwell. Nader has actually made things worse than they would have been without him in some respects, at least in Falwell's case you know there was another nut job waiting in the wings to take his place.
What the hell is with child saftey seats on airplanes? Is he smoking the sherm?
This is indeed a Christian nation. The whole seperation of church and state has been taken way out of context. If you actually read the 1st Amendment, it states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", meaning that Congress can't establish a state church, like most countries of the day had. It is a seperation of church and state, but NOT a seperation of God and state!
Also, a number of quotes,like the ones you have above, which can be easily found on an athiest web site, can and are taken out of context. Try these quotes on for size:
"It is impossible rightly to govern the world without God and the Bible."
George Washington
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. It is to be regretted, but so I believe the fact to be, that except the Bible there is not a true history in the world."
John Jay
"In the supposed state of nature, all men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator."
Samuel Adams
"It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence."
John Adams
"The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty."
Thomas Jefferson
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death."
Patrick Henry
"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
Daniel Webster
"The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will."
Thomas Jefferson
"Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe. And to the same Divine Author of every good and perfect gift we are indebted for all those privileges and advantages, religious as well as civil, which are so richly enjoyed in this favored land."
James Madison
"I have lived a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: ' that God governs the affairs of man.' And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"
Ben Franklin
"I speak as a man of the world to men of the world; and I say to you, 'Search the Scriptures!' The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages, and in all conditions of human life."
John Quincy Adams
"The Bible is the rock on which our republic rests."
Andrew Jackson
"I deem the present occasion sufficiently important and solemn to justify me in the expressing to my fellow-citizens a profound reverence for the Christian religion and a thorough conviction that sound morals, religious liberty, and a just sense of religious responsibility are essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness..."
William Henry Harrison
"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for that day."
Abraham Lincoln
"Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties; write its precepts on your heart and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for the progress made, and to this we must look as our guide in the future."
Ulysses S.
The author's lack of Biblical knowledge would be amusing if he didn't take his work so seriously. It's a huge project and there's talk about putting it in book form. But it's fatuous. I would've thought it was a parody of an atheist site (as landoverbaptist.org is a fake church site) if it wasn't so thorough and well-planned and touted by non-Christians.
This annotated Bible presents no challenge to Biblical inerrancy or Christian doctrine.
